Chemical 2F PAPR Belt Unit

Chemical 2F PAPR belt unit

The CleanAir Chemical 2F is a belt-mounted PAPR designed for chemical splash and vapour protection with dual-filter intake. The 2F configuration accepts two threaded filter cartridges (P3 particulate, A/B/E/K gas filters, or combined) for applications where both dust and chemical vapour are present.

Typical applications

• Paint spraying and surface preparation — solvent and particulate exposure.
• Pesticide application — organic vapour plus aerosol mist.
• Laboratory and pharmaceutical work — powder plus solvent exposure.
• Refinery and petrochemical — hydrocarbon vapour plus process particulate.

Filter flexibility

The dual-filter intake lets you specify the correct filter combination for the exposure. Common setups include ABEK-P3 (general multi-gas), A2-P3 (organic vapour plus dust), and specialist filters for mercury, formaldehyde, or acid mist. See our DIN-thread filter range for full options.

Airflow and duration

Rated at 160 L/min airflow with typical battery life of 8–10 hours. Integrated low-flow and low-battery alarms. Complete the system with a hood, helmet, or full-face mask from the compatible CleanAir accessory range.

Standards & compliance

Certified to AS/NZS 1716. RPF depends on head-top selection: up to RPF 100 with tight-fitting full-face, RPF 50 with loose-fitting hood. Follow AS/NZS 1715 for filter selection based on workplace monitoring data.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between 2F and 3F belt units?

2F uses two filters; 3F uses three, providing higher airflow capacity and longer filter service life at the same breathing resistance. 3F is the choice for high-workload applications and longer shifts.

Can this unit be used for asbestos work?

Only with asbestos-rated P3 filters and adherence to the AS 2601 Code of Practice. For dedicated asbestos work, see our asbestos PAPR range.
